Topology function.
It offers the option of selecting individual areas (left-click). When a specific area is selected, more
devices are displayed on the right-hand side of the workspace, than are present in this area and all
sub-areas. If these devices are located far outside the currently displayed area, automatic scrolling
to the device position will take place.
The standard selection is always the
Project name
and all of the project's devices are displayed.
The area
No allocation
displays all devices for which a specific area has not yet been allocated.
In addition, there are 2 other activatable options for this view:
1.
Show area indexes
: If this option is activated, the index numbers for the individual areas will
also be shown.
2.
Show framework of subordinate areas
: If this option is activated, an orange-coloured frame
(incl. area name) will be shown surrounding all devices that are present in a subordinate area in
the workspace, upon selection of an area. If the project name is selected, a frame will be drawn
around all of the project's devices, upon activated option.
Pop-up menu area:
By right-clicking on an area in the Project Topology window, a pop-up menu will appear with the
following new options:
·
Copy devices
: copies all devices in this area to the clipboard
·
Insert copied devices
: pastes the copied devices to this area as virtual duplicates
·
Insert virtual devices...
: Opens the window for the virtual device database in order to paste
virtual devices in this area
·
Load changes to all devices in this area
: Loads the selected changes in all devices in this
area
·
Load all devices in this area new
: Overwrites all devices in this area with the data in the
MRF
·
Load default data to all devices in this area
: Loads basic setting in all devices in this area
and reimports them
·
Newly detect reception quality of this area
: Re-establishes the reception quality of all
devices in this area
When you are in your project's Ethernet communication interfaces, there is also the option to
select one of these interfaces as Ethernet communications node for one area. This influences the
calculation of connections in the MRF. All devices that are present in an area with Ethernet
communications nodes, may only communicate with devices in other areas over Ethernet routing.
The requirement for this purpose is, naturally, that the other areas also possess an Ethernet
communications node or that an Ethernet node is available in a superior area of the project.
